Originally emerging from the Ohio garage scene as Jerry and the Others, The Elders released their sole album in 1971 -- a surprising mix of soul-infused rock, funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars, and psych flourishes. Despite the ominous skull-and-book cover art, this isn't heavy Sabbath-style riffing, but rather a vibrant, danceable sound closer to Sly & The Family Stone, Rare Earth, and early Hendrix. Rooted more in the late '60s than the early '70s, their groove-heavy, genre-blending approach feels both raw and infectious. A true sleeper gem worth digging up.
